In addition, a number of pupils from Richmond Road
Boys' School attended the Baths on Wednesdays, after
School hours, at their own expense at the reduced price of
1½d. per visit.
On request, special tickets are issued to children
attending the Public Elementary Schools entitling them to
admission to the Baths at 1½d. during ordinary hours.
GARDENING CENTRES.
There are Gardening Centres in connection with the
following Schools:—
Bonner Hill Road Boys' School at the School.
Richmond Road Boys' School at Tudor Road.
St. Luke's Boys' School at the rear of St. John's
School.
Physically Defective School at the School.
At present, St. John's, St. Peter's and St. Agatha's
Schools are without Gardening Centres.
DEFECTIVE CHILDREN.
Exceptional children are brought to the notice of the
School Medical Officer by the School Nurses, Health Visitors
and Attendance Officers.
The Teachers are invited to bring any children they
consider defective before the School Medical Officer. If
suffering from a physical defect, they are admitted to the
Special Day School for Physically Defective Children if
considered unsuitable to attend an ordinary Public Elementary
School.
There is no Special Day School for Mentally Defective
children, and difficulty is experienced in the disposal of
feeble-minded children who are considered suitable for
admission to such a School.
There are two epileptic children attending the Public
Elementary Schools, but as they are mild cases there appears
to be no reason why they should not continue to do so at
present.
